Daley Street, London E9

This expansive two-bedroom apartment is on the fifth floor of The Stack building in Homerton, built in 2018 by architectural studio spacelab_. It has both private outside space - an east-facing balcony that extends the breadth of the living area - as well as communal outdoor areas shared by the building's residents. It lies a short walk from the lively Chatsworth Road, with its brilliant places to eat and weekly food market.

The Tour

The apartment is accessed via a lift or staircase within immaculately maintained communal areas. The front door leads to a long hallway with plenty of cloakroom space and storage for coats and shoes. An open-plan living, sitting and dining room flows from here; glazing on two aspects makes this room beautifully bright and frames views across the surrounding rooftops.

Comprised of minimal white cabinetry and topped with Corian, the L-shaped kitchen sits to one side. The rest of the room suits multiple configurations and has integrated shelving on the left; sockets and wires are cleverly hidden within. Neutral white walls amplify the shards of light that scatter across the space.

There are two generous bedrooms, both with floor-to-ceiling windows and plenty of built-in cabinetry. The main bedroom also has an en suite shower room with monochrome tiles and chrome fixtures. This same finish is applied in the separate shared bathroom near the entrance.

Outdoor Space

Bounded by a glass balustrade, a generous enclosed balcony acts as an extension of the living area and is set against a backdrop of far-reaching east-facing views. It has plenty of space for potted plants and a seating area.

The building has an excellent provision of communal outdoor space. A decked roof terrace crowns the top of the building and has panoramic views of east London. Laid with neat necking and dotted with chairs, it offers a more social space to meet with residents and watch the sunset. There is an additional terrace a few floors down, laid in stone punctuated by large planters adding pops of green. A shadier spot, it offers respite during the warmer months.

The Area
